The Writing Room

This restaurant started life as the famed “Elaine’s” which attracted the rich and famous for 50 years. When Elaine passed away, The Glick’s opened The Writing Room and have established a notable restaurant on the Upper East Side. The Writing Room states on its website that it focusses on “on Raw Bar, Cheese & Charcuterie, Salads, Seafood, Poultry and Steakhouse Classics” The food is excellent, the service is well-trained and proactive and the wine list extensive. The bar is also a place to stop by and have a drink and snacks. 

The theme is literary with food floors, open-faced brick walls and French café style chairs. The walls are stacked with memorabilia from the era of “Elaine’s” and with notable photos, menus and events to reminisce by. They have private and semi private spaces for events and business dinners.
